Night!

That’s it for today, Reds fans!

Here are the best stories from the day for you to catch up on.

Join us tomorrow for the very latest goings-on from Anfield (and Marbella). Until next time...

Weghorst wants Liverpool move

Joining VfL Wolfsburg in the summer, the 26-year-old has scored nine goals for the Bundesliga side so far this season, following on from a goal-laden two years with AZ Alkmaar where he scored 18 goals in each campaign at the club.

Ozturk explained: “If he is in charge himself, he will end up at Liverpool, that’s his dream club, and if he grows another three to four years, why not?”

Weghorst is 26 now. Liverpool might need a striker but even if he would love a move to Anfield, it seems unlikely he’ll be Jurgen Klopp’s desired target now, never mind in three to four years.

Manchester United offer Suarez contract?

Luis Suarez was loosely linked with a return to Liverpool last month and reports are suggesting he has an offer on the table that would see him return to England. However, the club in question is Manchester United rather than Liverpool!

Luis Suarez celebrates another goal for Barcelona - but will he ever do the same again for Liverpool?

GOL Digital claim the Uruguayan striker is being tempted by two huge offers Asia and Europe. Manchester United are reportedly prepared to offer him a three-year contract and leading role at Old Trafford, while the other offer is from a club in China which would see him given a massive pay-rise.

They report the United offer is more tempting to Suarez who is reluctant to ply his trade in a lesser league.

Will he really join Liverpool’s arch-rivals though? Can’t see it personally if he does ever leave Barcelona.

Liverpool Training Squad Confirmed

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain AND Rhian Brewster are both included in Liverpool’s 31-man squad heading to their warm-weather training camp.

Carra Realism

Jamie Carragher has admitted he was bemused by criticism of Liverpool following consecutive draws last week.

The Reds were held by both Leicester and West Ham before returning to winning ways against Bournemouth on Saturday.

They are second in the Premier League, level on points with Manchester City, with a game in hand.

“What did they think was going to happen?” Carragher said. “Liverpool were not going to win 14 straight games to the end of the season. They were going to drop points, things are going to happen, nerves are going to kick in. And that’s for everyone, not just Liverpool.

“The criticism from outside is harsh on the team and the manager. What they’ve done this season is unbelievable. To actually be up there with City, a team who had 100 points last season and who will be close to that again this time, is remarkable.

“To talk about nerves and stuff like that is unfair. They’re not going to win every game. But at this moment, Liverpool are the only team in the country that can say ‘if we win every game, we win the league’.

“There’s still time to go, but it’s not a bad place to be at this stage. And the win against Bournemouth just puts that negativity and the talk of nerves and all that to bed.”

Bring it home Jurgen!

Coutinho Form

Barcelona director of institutional and sporting relations - nope, no clue either - says the Catalan giants are happy with Philippe Coutinho.

The Brazilian joined Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018 but has been criticised in some quarters for his fluctuating form.

Speaking to Spanish publication Sport, Amor said: “At the beginning with Coutinho we were happy and have always been happy. We have to give him chances and he’ll take them.

“He’s always shown his quality. He takes risks, he tries. It feels as if everyone is watching what he does, the poor guy. But we believe he’ll carry on going forward.”

What a Speech!

Imagine giving a rousing speech about Liverpool - only for other fans to applaud you for it.

This is honestly class.

Give this a watch, Reds.

Bigger than United?

Ashley Young rejected the suggestion Liverpool or Real Madrid are bigger club’s than Manchester United.

When asked the question’s by L’Equipe -via Sport Witness - the England international replied: “Pay attention to what you’re saying. There are other criteria to consider.

“For example, the popularity of Manchester United is just crazy.

“Whenever we do preseason tours, whether in Asia or the United States, all the training sessions open to the public are crowded and there are fans around our hotel, at any time of the day or night.

“It’s the same when I go on holiday: wherever you go around the world, you will find a United fan.”

Interesting Hou

There’s an interesting line about penalty takers in Jamie Redknapp’s Daily Mail column last week.

Jamie Vardy was introduced to the action for Leicester yesterday with the Foxes trailing 1-0 to Spurs and immediately stepped up to take the penalty awarded seconds earlier.

The England forward missed, with Redknapp adding: “Gerard Houllier never wanted the player who had been fouled for the penalty take it as he did not feel they would be in the right frame of mind..”

Klopp on Atmosphere

Jurgen Klopp was made up with the support inside Anfield this weekend as Liverpool dispatched Bournemouth 3-0.

Robbo Speaks

Speaking after the win over Bournemouth, Robbo said: “We are a bit of a wounded squad at the minute, but the lads are coming back. Trent came back, which was fantastic to see.

“Gini has been struggling all week. He came in and was unbelievable for someone who has been unwell all week. And it was nice to see Hendo back on the bench as well.

“We have got a good 10 days now until Bayern Munich. We go off for the training camp and hopefully we will welcome a few more back because the stronger the squad we have got then the better chance we have got of winning games.

“That’s key to it. We have got a nice 10-day break and I’m sure Trent will be up to speed, and Hendo and Gini. And hopefully we have a couple more come back and then we have got an exciting run-in.”

Rodriguez Excited

James Rodriguez says he’s looking forward to coming up against Liverpool next week.

The Reds face Bayern Munich in their Champions League first knockout round clash at Anfield.

“You can’t make mistakes in these games, but I think we can cause Liverpool problems. We have a team that’s good enough to go through if it goes well.”

The Colombian also sent a warning to Liverpool as he believes he’s returning to his best form following a knee injury that ruled him out of the final part of 2018.

“I think I had a good game against Schalke,” James said after making his third competitive start in a row in the 3-1 win.

“I’m feeling better all the time. I was out for nearly three months. I’m providing more quality with each game, but I can still play better.”

He's looking forward to it! (Image: ODD ANDERSEN/AFP/Getty Images)

Kent Latest

Gary McAllister has admitted Rangers have enquired about keeping Ryan Kent at Ibrox.

The Rangers assistant manager has watched Kent blossom under Steven Gerrard this term with the 22-year-old bagging five goals in 16 appearances this term.

“The fact is, Ryan’s still a Liverpool player so it’s a decision for Liverpool, isn’t it?’ the former Liverpool midfielder told the Daily Record.

“Will he be here next season? It would be nice because we’ve seen the benefits of having him here but he’s Liverpool’s player.

“We keep asking the question but it’s up to them. They’re very much aware of what he’s doing up here.”

Keep it up, Ryan! (Image: Ian MacNicol/Getty Images)

Awoniyi Impressing

Taiwo Awoniyi came back to haunt former club Gent in Royal Excel Mouscron’s 2-1 Belgian First Division victory yesterday.

Awoniyi cut short his stay at Gent midway through the current campaign and returned to Mouscron, where he spent the entirety of last season, bagging nine goals.

The forward, who bagged the opener in the win, has now scored three goals in four appearances since joining Excel, who are tenth in the table.

Get in, Taiwo!

Robbo Praised

Andy Robertson is the best Premier League left-back since Ashley Cole according to Garth Crooks.

He’s better, I reckon!

After including the Scot in his BBC Team of the Week, Crooks said: “I just love watching this kid play. Apart from anything else, he has nerves of steel.

“The ball he played for Georginio Wijnaldum to score was just wonderful and the side-foot volley when Sadio Mane should have scored was just sensational.

“There is nothing more frustrating for a striker than a full-back who offers nothing going forward and I’ve played with enough to know.

“Robertson is a striker’s dream and the best I’ve seen since Ashley Cole.”

Gini Wijnaldum and Roberto Firmino also made the cut in this week’s XI after two sterling performances in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth at the weekend.

Guardiola Claim

Pep Guardiola says Liverpool are still favourites to lift the Premier League title this season.

Manchester City shellacked Chelsea 6-0 yesterday in a masterclass performance at the Etihad to leapfrog the Reds at the top of the table.

Guardiola, however, said: “We’ve still played one more game and Liverpool are still favourites.

“If they win all of their games, they will be champions.

“All we can do is win our games. So I think it the end it’s going to be tight, and [we can] try it in that way.

“Of course, it’s really important [to be top]. After Newcastle, everybody said seven points, we had Arsenal and Chelsea [coming up], but after Liverpool didn’t win against Leicester it gave us one more chance.”

Reds Challenge

Graeme Souness reckons Liverpool need to win all 12 of their remaining Premier League fixtures to win the title this season.

The Reds currently trail Manchester City at the top by goal difference but have a game in hand on their rivals.

“City have put a marker down today,” Souness said after Pep Guardiola’s side humiliated Chelsea 6-0.

“You’re going to have to win every single game, Liverpool, to win this league.

“I don’t want to say it… [City] are going to take some stopping aren’t they? Looking at them, how clinical they are.

“They’ve had their rollicking off their manager, they’ve had their hiccup, they’ve had their points drop.

“They are going to take some stopping if that’s their mood between now and the end.”
